and the Coroner's jury found from the evi.
dence of two witnesses that deceased was
named Chas. A. Brandt, a native OF Ger
many, problbIy, so years OF age, and that he
came to his death from heart disease. From
the testimony Of Louis Kittrell, partner Of
Brandl'l i, was learned that they both came
from California on the first Of this month.
The reason for their coming was to look for
a claim that was known TO exist about FIVE
miles from Virginia City. by Brandt. Brandt

parties left Virginia and went to Mr.. Horn

from the Mound Hou>e, near where the claim
was situated. 1t appears that Brandt had

which time he was cooking for Tom Riley,
who about that time killed the Sheriff ol

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE.
Professor Ball Handsomely Kennel

Professor Bail Handsomely Remem bered by the Teachers of the Public SchoOls-A Fine Gold Watch the Gift.
 Professor Louis Bail, teacher of drawing in the public schools, received his friends at his residence, No. 43 Park street, last even ing. All the teachers and principals of the public schools attended. Professor Bail has recently been the recipient of many beautiful and appropriate testimonials of respect from pupils of different school rooms about the city, but the handsomest gift yet bestowed on him was presented by the teachers last evening. It was an elegant and costly gold watch of Swiss make. On one side of the case the recipients initials were engraved and on the other the year "18S7." Accom- panying the gift was the letter given below, which served instead of 8 presentation speech, Professor Bail disliking anything formal or pretentious. It can truthfully be said that Professor Bail has host of friends in this city who will tender as much good will as the expression from the teachers: Professor Bail:
 Dear Sir-The teachers of New Haven, with whom you have been so long associated, herewith present to you a testimonial of their respect. We hope its faithful though speeches. companion ship may serve often to remind you of the faces of many of us who will miss you from our circle. With it desire to wish for you in your new home many years of restful enjoyment and pleas ant remembrances of your successful work in this city for so many years.
 (Sgned) JOSEPH R. FRENCH,
 SARAH AWncox.
 Professor Bail will leave this city the latter part of the month for his new home in New ark, New Jersey. Yesterday afternoon he bid adieu to the teachers of the High school and was greeted with spontaneous and pro- ionged applause,
